Basslab custom

A new example of contemporary German luthiery, this one-off guitar by Basslabis made from one piece of composite material (couldn't find the exact composition) and rigged with extra top gear. Though this kind of instruments are not so common, they are easily identifiable since Auerswald- another German brand - made similar guitars for Mister Prince.

I'm not a fan of such guitars but I find many details fascinating, like the surprisingly ergonomic quality of its design with plenty of curves in the back, and the way the knobs follow the curve of the front... It's worth clicking on the link to see that from close!
